The one where.....

easy come.....

easy go.....

after 7 years together my boys decided it

was time to split up.

they were needing their own space,

so being the good mother that i am 

i gave up my crafting room.

sam loves his new room.

that black wall is magnetized chalkboard

so he can hang up his art and also create it on the wall.

it still needs a little touch up 

but all in all i think it turned out pretty good.

the only bad thing is it has put me in the re-do mode.

i love it, josh hates it.(re-doing, that is)

stay tuned for ethans new digs.

the one where i have been complaining.....

and its got to stop!

i mean i don't spend my day complaining or anything.

sometimes its just the little things that get you!

but i have perspective now,

nie nie is back and it brings it all home for me.

no skin grafts here,

i can bake a cake if i want to, 

i can go to target and not have people stare at me

(well not for obvious reasons anyways)

sometimes you have to stop and take inventory of your blessings.

because they are many.

someone is always suffering,

and that makes me stop and reflect, and count.

peace out.

 

The one where i show you pictures of our "love"days.

we partied hard this year.

love was definitely in the air.

from class parties to our parties

we all felt the love.

did you?

happy  belated love day.

ok people, i need honesty here.

to cut.....

or not to cut?

that is the question.

help.

The one with.....

happy friday everybody!

i made it through early out week!

i love my kids and all, 

but man they can throw off my groove!

i'm looking forward to,

lunch with a friend,

playdate with friends,

viewmont game(gotta support my cheer girls!),

date with my gimpy hubby,

and birthday dinner for my mama.

all in the next 3 days!

i hope you have some fun plans of your own.

see ya monday!

The one where i win.

so i'm pretty much the winner today.

i won the "coolest mom ever" award.

oh, you haven't heard of that award?

oh, oh i see you thought you were the holder.

nope, sorry its me,

because i let my son skip school to go skiing with the crew.

i know, i know, some might say irresponsible! neglectful even!

i say cool.

The one where......

some ones been crafting again!

it all started with my door,

it just looked plain un-loved.

and who wants an unloved door during this season of love?

not me!

so i whipped up this wool heart.

i just love how the red and white look against the black.

next i needed a little valentines finery in my kitchen

but didn't want to spend any money.

so what always comes in handy?

scrapbook paper!

you know you buy cute paper when you have

no intention of ever using it.

well the other day i actually put it to use. 

i wanted something fun and wHiMsIcAl!

nailed it.

and certainly last but not least

crowns for 2 adored girls in my life.

we made these together on a sunday afternoon.

i had been promising them these forever

and i finally made good.

i hope you feel inspired to let the inner creator OUT!

it feel so good. promise.
